Death and Dying of PCs worshipping dead/missing Gods

As per the wiki:
Heretics, Faithless and worshippers of Demons, Devils and Dead Gods

Characters who serve a heresy, dead god, archdevil, demon prince, or who are Faithless can no longer self-rez by default, and they cannot be resurrected with the Raise Dead or Resurrection spells by default. They can still be brought back with Stabilize, Bloodstaunch, Revivify, or Recall Spirit, up to the maximum of 5 minutes (Stabilize/Bloodstaunch) or 10 minutes (Revivify/Recall Spirit) after death.

Heretics with the Heretic of the Fallen Feat, dead god worshipers with the Servant of the Fallen Feat, archdevil worshipers with the Disciple of Darkness feat, and demon prince worshipers with the Thrall to Demon feat can self-rez and be resurrected normally. Faithless characters can never self-rez or be raised if dead longer than 10 minutes. This only affects heretics/dead god worshipers/archfiend worshipers/Faithless characters, characters who follow all other gods continue to play normally.

Wish and Miracle can be used to bring back heretics/dead god worshipers/archfiend worshipers/Faithless characters who have died after the 10 minute maximum, with DM support.
I suggest there needs to be a "mechanical" update to this IC issue, as currently, if your PC worships a dead/missing god—for instance, Waukeen—said PC will become stuck in the Fugue, and cannot or will not load into the Nexus (which would allow the player to delete the PC, or even choose another Deity...which, unless there is a Rule against it, possible). As far as I can tell, the player is screwed without DM intervention to manuall port the PC out of the Fugue.

It would be helpful if the character could port into the Nexus before heading off to the Fugue. Then it would be possible to delete the toon.

Cheers!

Yeah. Right now, when you log in with one of these "trapped" Characters, it initially loads as if going to the Nexus, then BLIP, one is transferred to the loading screen of the Fugue.
